The only permit needed to use the now-open eastern 30 miles of the C2C Trail route is a Starker Forest permit for a four-mile gated segment of Old Peak Road west of Philomath. These permits are available at the Starker Forest Office at 7240 SW Philomath Blvd. The office is open Mon-Fri, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Permits may be suspended during late summer periods of heat and low humidity.
